Audiograbber is a beautiful
piece of software that grabs digital audio from cd's. Audiograbber
can automatically normalize the music, delete silence from
the start and/or end of tracks, and encode them to a variety of formats
including MP3.
Audiograbber can download and upload disc info from freedb,
an Internet compact disc database. You can even record your
vinyl LP's or cassette tapes with Audiograbber and make wav's
or MP3's of them. There are a lot more functions in Audiograbber,
but to put it simply: Audiograbber has the most features one
can wish from such a program!

Significant advantages: A nice and easy
understandable user interface. A good helpfile
with descriptions of all functions and settings. The program
is very flexible and configurable and still easy to understand.
It works with
almost all CD-ROM drives that can read digital audio.
Last but not least: it is free!

April 16
: Audiograbber on Facebook.
Are you on Facebook and do you like Audiograbber? Want to show that to your friends and stay updated? Then
join our brand new page
on Facebook!

April 09
: New Audiograbber community launched.
When we changed servers in January we decided not to set up the previous Audiograbber forums again, because
they were out of date. We instead now set up a new question
and answer community based on the StackOverflow system. It
is very simple. You can ask questions and write answers. What makes it superiour to other systems is the
ability to vote. If you think a question or an answer is good, vote for it. Top voted items are displayed
first. Users whose postings get a lot of votes automatically get a higher status and more permissions. Do
you have questions about Audiograbber? Then check it
out!

January 25
: Audiograbber got a new home.
Our website is back online! Because our previous
webhoster quit its service, the international Audiograbber website at www.audiograbber.com-us.net
went offline, too. We since decided to move to our very own domain at www.audiograbber.org, to offer a
permanent home for Audiograbber and all the ones who still like using it!

February 9
: Audiograbber is now freeware. See statment below and just get it from the download
page.
The new version is named 1.83 and it is almost the same as 1.82. There are no new functions, just some
minor bugfixes and smaller improvements.
Normally this would only justify a build increase (from 1.82 build 2 to 1.82 build 3) but since it is now
freeware I feel it is best to give it its own version number.
Development will continue and it should not take that long before we see a version 1.84 with support for
some new internal encoders.
I am working with Spoon from dBPowerAMP with that. (Basically, he is telling me how to support the internal
encoders he have for his program dBPowerAMP).

December
25 : Audiograbber will be freeware. On February 9, 2004 Audiograbber
will be released as freeware. When I sold my other cd-ripper
AudioCatalyst to Xing I signed a contract which has not allowed
me to release Audiograbber as freeware but on February 9,
2004 that contract expires. It has been a great journey and
experience making Audiograbber and it has paid off well so
now I feel it is time to give something back to the "Internet
and MP3 community" so freeware it will be. I am also
fed up with all the administrative work which I now hope it
will be less of. I will continue developing Audiograbber and
with less administrative work I can hopefully spend more time
making new versions.Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all of you guys
out there!
